	Edward Coke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir Edward Coke (pronounced "cook") (1 February 1552–3 September 1634) was an early English colonial entrepreneur and jurist whose writings on the English common law were the definitive legal texts for some 300 years.
		One of Coke's greatest contributions to the law was to interpret Magna Carta to apply not only to the protection of nobles but to all subjects of the crown equally, which effectively established the law as a guarantor of rights among all subjects, even against Parliament and the King.
		Coke's opinion in Calvin's Case established that subjects of Scotland born after King James VI became James I of England could hold land in England as well as in Scotland, because both Scots and Englishmen owed allegiance to the same king.

	Common Law
		Sir Edward Coke and many other common lawyers shared a political ideology based on the notion that ancient custom (as interpreted by common lawyers) was superior to the king and to all other forms of law.
		Coke sometimes prevented cases from being heard in rival courts by issuing "prohibitions" that stated that the case was really one for the courts of common law.
		Coke's wholesale use of prohibitions infuriated Sir Thomas Egerton (Baron Ellesmere and Viscount Brackley) and the Archbishop of Canterbury, George Abbot.

		His rival for that office was Sir Francis Bacon, thereafter one of Coke’s bitterest enemies.
		In this position, and (after 1613) as chief justice of the king’s bench, Coke became the champion of common law against the encroachments of the royal prerogative and declared null and void royal proclamations that were contrary to law.
		By personal and political influence, Coke got himself back on the privy council and was elected (1620) to Parliament, where he became a leader of the popular faction in opposition to James I and Charles I. He was prominent in the drafting of the Petition of Right (1628).

		Instead, I examine the assumption that Coke believed that his common law jurisprudence extended to the colonies and attempt to recover the original intent, as it were, of the ancient constitution in the mind of one of its framers.
		Throughout his life Coke retained a medieval conception of law as primarily jurisdictional rather than jurisprudential, meaning that the common law was inseparable from the institutions that applied, practiced, and taught the common law: the Westminster courts, their circuits, the common law bar, and the Inns of Court.
		Coke had contributed to the sense that English law, especially the common law of property, went abroad, but he never envisioned the common law as a free-floating jurisprudence that could be invoked as a shield against royal administration.

	SIR EDWARD COKE AND THE ELIZABETHAN
		Most of the activity and writing for which Coke is remembered came after 1603, the terminal date of Allen Boyer's scholarly and readable biography, but the book is written with a keen eye towards explaining the intellectual and personal characteristics that made the younger Coke the man he would become.
		Sometimes, when Coke’s part in a story is not all that well documented, as in the chapters that cover the last years of the reign and the accession of James I, this seems to produce a somewhat rushed and telegraphic quality in the prose.

		Coke's most notable encounter with religious politics was in his opposition to the notorious ex officio oath, by which the Court of High Commission could effectively force defendants to incriminate themselves.
		What was Coke's involvement as attorney-general in exploiting the profits of law in the form of monopolies and other projects--a club Coke would wield against James I's attorney-general (and others) during the famous monopolies debates in the parliament of 1621?[4] All of this contributes to a certain superficiality and lack of thematic focus.
		Edward Coke was, in Kyle's turn of phrase "A Man for all Meetings" in the parliament-heavy 1620s, yet his plethora of committee assignments frequently conflicted with one another and it would be wrong to assume Coke prioritized obvious ones; he chose the committee examining leases in the Duchy of Cornwall over one debating Magna Carta.
